Notice Title
Wider Commonwealth Stakeholder Engagement Events
Notice Description
CWEIC is the commercial, not-for-profit membership organisation with an official mandate from the Commonwealth Heads of Government to facilitate trade and investment throughout the 54 Commonwealth member nations. The role of the CWEIC is to use the convening power and trusted network of Commonwealth, led by her majesty the Queen to drive trade and investment into the UK and West Midlands. CWEIC network includes around 100 business and government Strategic Partners and is instrumental in hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) every 2 years. CWEIC will deliver the Commonwealth Business Forum in advance of the Commonwealth Games, as it has delivered similar Business Forums at the Games in Glasgow and the Gold Coast. CWEIC believes that the Commonwealth is the perfect lens through which to promote the West Midlands. The Commonwealth's shared history, diaspora populations, common language and global respect for Her Majesty as Head of the Commonwealth creates considerable trading advantage. It is widely acknowledged that it is 21% cheaper to do business between Commonwealth countries - this "Commonwealth Advantage" as it is known, is an under-utilised resource.
